I was a bit pessimistic when I was starting this show, but since I got the flu and bonus time I gave it a try. My main concern was it will become somehow a soap opera centered about love affair between two male spies (as it happens i.e. On every show on Netflix 🙂, secondary concern was ex-Homeland 'agent Brody'...)
Instead we are getting a really intelligent and interesting story line that delivers till the end. Acting, pictures and spy story climate is top notch and helps to deliver realistic background for the whole story. Tense, 'smokey' interiors, witty dialogues and focus on small details that matter. Not many shows will keep you hooked up on a story like this one, if you enjoy that type of cinema you won't be disappointed.

The Pale Blue Eye
(2022)
Good, but that's it.

I could probably write a long list of pros and cons, but to be honest it's not worth it, as few days later you will totally forget about this movie. Don't get me wrong, it is good, keeps the dark climate really well and I find it interesting to see Christian Bale in that type of role. Action is burning slowly, there are some plot twists, but nothing really shocking. You'll probably rise an eyebrow on one or two occasions. If you enjoy movies set in the XIX century, then you will probably enjoy it. If you are looking for some action there is a good chance that you will fall asleep at some point 🙂
